The Perfume of Prayer By Brenda Drake

Sample of poem in my newest book on Amazon. I have a promotion for only one more day for free on Kindle.

I used to worry that I was not praying correctly, but I am reassured by the Spirit there is no right or wrong way to pray.  I find I pray best when I just talk to the Lord about whatever and whoever comes to mind.  When I see a need for myself or for another a simple heartfelt request for God to intervene is my prayer.  As I have grown more in the Lord, I am able to pray the will of God by praying the Word of God in my prayer requests.

The Perfume of Prayer

The value of sincere prayer,
Is so great, you are as yet unaware.
The lasting impressions are recorded to stay.
The time is not wasted; its effort will not fade away.
Freely pray, do not hold back the flow,
For there is healing within to restore and make whole.
Pray openly no matter where you are.
It matters not if the people you pray for are near or far.
The ear of God is always willing to hear.
You are selected by Him, He draws near.
He knew from the beginning, who would pray,
Faithfully, earnestly, each day.
Unspoken requests in hearts are sweeter still,
When they agree with the Fathers will.
Time is not wasted if there has been,
An earnest plea stated for foe or friend.
Your life touches another even if you cannot see,|
So continue on in prayer’s ministry.
Great is the intercession of words and deeds given,
While pleasing God in your daily living;
Offering time and energy to His work do;|
Dying to self-will, to allow the Holy Spirit to move.
Prayer is as the perfume that was poured out on Jesus’ head;
A great sacrifice proving profit from the work He did.

Ephesians 5:18
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
